It's a great looking car though.
My parents have both a 1996 Q45 (about 280 hp or so) and an E500. The Q in no way is as fast as the E- maybe even 1 second slower 0-60- but because the throttle opens up so much more quickly, it seems like it is much faster than the E, which has roughly 20-25 more hp and weighs about 200 lbs lighter.
The result of this increased throttle tip-in is that the car is harder to drive smoothyl than otherwise. To me, that's a big negative
The only real benefit I can see for having the throttle open up real quick is that it makes it a bit less tiring to drive long distance, because you don't have to press as far as you otherwise would. For me, it doesn't outweigh the negative though.
Are there any catalogs for X-Types or new Jags in general for the United States?

I just went to Carsdirect.com and looked at 2004 2.5 with every available option including the extra-cost metallic paint and their price for zip code 90210 was $27,028.
Several thousand below invoice and cheaper than what some ask for a used 2003.
Guess resale value just took another nose dive.
If they also apply that same $5000-5500 towards a subsidizing a lease, it might be a good deal there and then the resale will be the lease-company's problem.
I'm going to try and see if they'll change it to a 36 or 39 month lease with 15000 miles... I currently own an 03 Altima but my moms getting that car and I'm getting the new one... any comments
I think I'd start getting tired of the car even before 3 years, but I could deal with it. 4 years shackled to a lease could turn into a nightmare. You always see people posting trying to find ways to get out of a lease early only to find out they can't without spending thousands of dollars.
Find out what the payments are with 36 months and 15,000 miles per year with no money down.
We were planning to maybe buy one in a year, but if we can get a price like that now I don't think we should wait. Who knows if they will ever have such a high incentive/rebate again.
Have you pursued this any further, yet...such as by getting an actual price quote from a dealer?
i paid 27K out of the door , Autmatic and metalic color, It is great car this deal will end Aug 2
I wonder if they will lower the MSRP again next year for the 2005 models if this is the price it takes to move them out the door.
Too bad for the people who bought 2002s for around $40K who are trying to sell now or even next year.
People should be able to get into a plain 2.5 for around $25K after discounts which is around the price of a pretty loaded Camry after discounts a rebate. The Camry is much larger though.

The do have a super-low rate for leasing though, but you do not get cash incentive with it.
Thanks,

Thanks,

the jag incentive they are offering now. still shopping around but the best price i got so far for a zircon 2.5 manual is 22661 - just add tax and tags.
anyone know of any dealers offering a lower price ?
also am looking for a 3.0 5 speed
one more thing, where are these jags made ?
i know they are assembled in the UK but the engine - are the 2.5's made in Japan and the 3.0's made in Germany ?
Also, I assume the $6,000+ discount mentioned above was negotiated, not a manufacturer incentive.
Thanks.
That is from Jaguar, so there is still additional room for the dealers to discount from MSRP before they even apply the incentive.
And they should since if they were hot-selling, there would be no need for the gigantic incentives in the first place.
I wonder what this means for 2005 models?
I can't imagine everyone is going to go back to paying $5000 more unless they scale back their production and sales targets severely.
Isn't 2005 the last year of this model also? I read that they are dumping this Ford-based platform soon.
The jag was a little smoother, brakes more sluggish. Volve was sportier, had slightly better handling, the leather was nicer and I think it was a tad quieter.
Out of the gate at both dealerships they mentioned incentives and being ready to deal. When leaving the Jag dealer, he said the deals were $200 over invoice.
Not sure which way we're leaning yet...
A 2004 3.0 manual is a rare breed. In the U.S., you can only get them with the sport package, which adds 2.5K to the price. The dealership in Cincy is pretty big and they never had one. The sales reps here say it's special order only.

Hope Jaguar fixed most of the earlier problems with the X-type. Been wanting to buy this car since 2002. Still can't believe we are paying $10K less for this car than if we had bought it in 2002. VERY EXCITED!!!
maint. it pertained to shunt hesitation on accel,
and i havent had the time to follow up with the dealer
and the code is s953,reprogramming ecm with wds
any help or info greatly appreciated
I think this could hurt the already shaky image.
I'm sure they are not making money on the X-type with $5000 to $5500 incentives and giant incentives on the S-type also.
I would lease if I got one to make sure I wouldn't be affected if resale value plummets even more than expected.

I'm willing to travel a few hundred miles if I can get a better price. My questions are: 1) has anyone seen a lower advertised price? 2) has anyone seen any 2.5 in the Salsa (red) color?
i just bought a zircon blue 2.5 x type ( 5 speed )
for 25600.00 out the door. i paid 22661 + 1k for extra wood and lojack. with ny tax, i paid 25600 out the door
i think the dealer has the color you are looking for
let me know if you are still interested
The only extra is $95 for the title fee. So $22.6K final price. I live in NH, so no sales tax, though there is a town tax which will be about $600.
Thanks
